Chapter 28
The First Time
Their plane left at about 8:30 in the morning, meaning that they'll arrive at their designated location at about 12, if not for all the delays. Nickie, sat down and put on her headphones, and thought about her very emotional appointment yesterday with Dr. Brand.
flashback
"Hello again, Ms. Mattern." Dr. Brand said upon entering the room.
"Hello, Dr. Brand."
"So how are you feeling today, Nichole?"
"I'm doing okay. No morning sickness, just a lot of stress coming up."
"Well you are going to have to learn to control the stress, especially soon. I am going to examine you and then give you some vitamins for you to take to stop some stress and to relieve some morning sickness, nausea, things like that."
"Sounds alright to me."
"So where are you going on your vacation?"
"Umm..we're going to be traveling around to different places."
"Sounds interesting." The doctor said after finishing examining her.
"Yeah."
"How's the father taking it?"
"He doesn't know yet, I wanted to be sure that I was pregnant first, before I told him."
"Oh well, that's perfectly understandable. Okay, everything looks to be good. I'll just write up the prescription and you can go then."
"Thanks Dr. Brand."
--end of flashback--
"Are you okay?" Natalie said closing down her lap-top.
"I will be. I just want to get this done and over with."
"Oh, I know what you mean. Don't worry about it. Dave's a great guy."
"I know." Nickie said, already hearing these lame ass excuses before.
Their plane landed about an hour later, Randy was there to pick them up at the airport. As soon as Natalie seen him, she ran to him. Anyone can easily see that these two are made for each other, and obviously, Nickie could see that. It shattered her knowing that the father of her baby and her could never have a relationship like that.
"Hey sweetie, how are you?" Randy said interrupting her train of thought.
"I'm alright, Randy. What about you?"
"I'm good. Well you two ready to go?"
"Yeah, I'm starving." Natalie announced.
"Well, Nickie. Would it be alright if I invited Dave?" Randy asked not wanting to pressure her in anyway.
"How does he know?" Nickie asked.
"I told him."
"God, you cannot keep a secret. Fine, Randy I really don't care if you invite Dave."
"Oh alright. Are you sure?"
"Sure, Randy." Nickie said nodding her head, as Randy took out his cell phone.
"Hey Randy." Dave answered his phone.
"Hey, big man you doing anything?"
"Not right now, why?"
"Do you want to meet us for lunch?"
Dave thought about it for awhile, knowing that "us" meant Randy, Natalie and Nickie.
"Where at Randy?"
"How about Red Lobster?"
"Ok, in how long?"
"How about 20 minutes?"
"Sure, alright man. See you then." Both men said as they hung up the phone.
--twenty minutes later--
All four of them met up at Red Lobster. They were all seated and given menus. Five minutes later, they all ordered.
"So what have you two been doing?" Dave asked.
"Not really much." Nickie said answering the question rather quickly.
Halfway into the meal, Nickie wasn't feeling good, and went to the bathroom, Natalie followed her.
"Are you alright?" Natalie hollered into the stall.
"I'll be alright." Nickie said just as she threw up.
"You are so not alright. What's wrong?"
"God, damn it Natalie. I'm pregnant, what do you think?"
"Nickie, I know it! Quit using it as an excuse."
"What are you talking about?"
"This is all about Dave, isn't it? Why didn't you just tell Randy you didn't want to come with us?"
"I wanted to see how I would act around him."
"You're pregnant with his baby, and he doesn't know about it. You seriously need to stop stressing out about this, and tell him TONIGHT!" Natalie hollered.
"Fine, Fine I will."
"You will or else. He needs to be a part of this baby's life." Natalie said getting up to walk back to the table where Randy and Dave were both looking at her.
"She just got a little upset stomach." Natalie lied, Randy knew it was more than that, but he agreed that was a good excuse for Dave. Nickie walked back to the table soon after.
"Are you alright?" Dave asked rubbing her back.
"I'll be fine." Nickie said smiling.
"Well, we're all finished, let's go." Randy announced.
--two hours later--
Randy and Dave were already at the venue. Nickie and Natalie decided to stay home and catch a ride to the venue with one of the other women.
"You got to tell him tonight, or you're going to stress yourself out."
